Hope your day is awsome

It's time for another watercolour background panel to be transformed into a card. :D

A few weekends ago I tried out this lovely Center Cut Heart background stamp from Simon Says Stamp heat embossed on fog grey cardstock and painted with my Gansai Tambi paints. 

Stamps: Simon Says Stamp - Center Cut Heart, Avery Elle - Simple Sentiments
Dies: Simon Says Stamp - Deco Heart, Neat & Tangled - Skinny Strips
Other: Gansai Tambi paints

It was pretty fun just laying down all this bright colour - I really want to get better at using watercolours and seeing what I can get out of this particular paint set before investing in the next level. Practice, practice, practice...

To transform the panel into a card, I used the coordinating Deco Heart dies to create an aperture and cut the fancy heart from white cardstock for a bit of contrast.

All that was needed was a snazzy bright colour for the sentiment so I heat embossed the greeting on Azalea cardstock from Hero Arts and used foam tape for a bit of dimension.

It's definitely got a summer vibe this card so I'm entering it in Simon Says Stamp challenge for June over on Instagram. :D
